Fabulous Friday

Good Morning!  I am so glad that I don't go into work until this afternoon.  I've been really stressing and struggling with this move that my creative spirit has flown away.  I didn't work on anything last night - I dozed most of the evening until bedtime.

I'm still not sure that my creative juices are flowing but I did want to try the sketch from The Sweet Stop and I hardly ever get to play along with Just Magnolia challenge, so I forced myself to work on a card for these challenges.  I'm not entirely happy with it, but I think it's OK.


The challenge at Just Magnolia is called It Takes Two - so two Magnolia images needed to be featured on the card.  I was thrilled when I dug through my card kits stash and found a kit that had two images in it.  I didn't follow the sketch at the The Sweet Stop to every letter of each of the elements.  My focal image ended up being too big for all the different parts.

Supplies:
Card stock:  Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip
Paper:  The first dp is unknown because it came in a kit, the other is Basic Grey
Copics:  B95, B97, E00, E02, E53, RV000, RV02, RV10, Y15, Y17, YG03,
  YR16, YR23, YR61, Colorless Blender
Ink:  Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue, Rich Cocoa
Stamps:  Just Saying by Inkadinkadoo
Tools:  circle punches, sponges
Embellishments:  Prima flowers, Pearls (Recollections)

Fortunately this card also fits the challenge over at my monthly card traders group.  I do hope you like my card and thank you so much for visiting.

I love the way you got the placement so he is just barely touching her cheek. I am still learning how to get stamps to line up just right. You did an outstanding job.
